Abstract

A system and methods are proposed for manipulation of playback of sampled orchestral and other sounds, simulating multiple factors which characterize live performance of notes in motion by an ensemble. The methods rely upon use of samples or synthesized sounds which are created for discrete individual instruments or desks, which desks typically comprise a pair of instruments, rather than large numbers of instruments per sample. Following the manner in which musicians tend to play somewhat out-of-synchronization with one another, somewhat off-pitch from the intended notes, and with a bit of overlap between musicians with respect to ending notes, particularly as these characteristics increase when notes are played faster, the system simulates these characteristics. Playing speed is measured and used to alter the relative pitch, relative note timing and note envelopes so that samples are not played in perfect unison, which is to say they are played less precisely and thus more realistically.
